>RAQMe too, but recently I finally got 1000H and I'm pretty happy with it. But I think NC10 is one of the best or maybe the best one of current generation 10' netbooks. Well keep waiting netbooks on some new platforms, like double-Atom, AMD's, VIA Nano, or actually UrbanMax.

Tried to load Ubuntu 8.0.4.1 (with Intel Atom Processor support). It hangs on partition editor. Tried other methods and it always hangs in the same place. I’ve an Acer Aspire One which runs beautifully in Ubuntu 8.04.1 and has similar hardware. I could be the installation media though I doubt this since I have used it successfully on other computers. I’m beginning to suspect that the Data Execution Prevention which is compiled into the NC10’s bios is preventing Linux from being installed. A fine netbook, if you are a Windows user.

Well I've ordered mine already! So it better turn out good lol! The bog draw for me was the reported battery life being above many current offerings. I also was keen on the bigger keyboard and wanted a useable netbook that I could do some light work on!

My initial installation of Ubuntu failed because I did not disable acpi.

I tried Intrepid Ibex from a Live USB. I could get to the partition editor this time in seconds after clicking on "install". Apart from WiFi not working out of the box (Bluetooth,however, does)and a few Fn buttons not responding I don't envisage any problems installing the latest Linux kernel (2.6.27xxx) on the Samsung NC10.

I just bought my NC10 from a UK company called save on laptops - http://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk. What a corker!! This thing is brilliant for sitting in front of the TV and chatting to a few mates on MSN. I haven't even amanged to drain the battery once! Highly recommended!
